The Last Temptation of ChristMartin Scorsese made a lot of waves back in 1988 with this controversial account of the life of Jesus of Nazareth (Willem Dafoe). This Jesus was not the all-knowing, all-loving picture of perfection that is so often spoken of, but rather a real human being, conflicted and tempted by Mary Magdelene (Barbara Hershey) while dying on the cross and even manipulating Judas (Harvey Keitel) into his betrayal to seal his legacy. Keep an eye out for David Bowie as Pontius Pilate as well.
